I’m a salad geek.
I eat salads, alot. Almost one everyday.
I eat them with fruit, veggies, tortilla strips, chicken, steak, taco meat, cheese, etc.
And because I’m a salad geek and I have two children under the age of eight, I also eat a LOT of salads at fast-food restaurants.
I’ve eaten salads at McDonald’s, Chick-fil-a, Burger King, Subway, etc. And while a fast-food salad is okay, it seems to never be AMAZING.
So when Wendy’s and The Motherhood offered me the opportunity to review Wendy’s new Berry Almond Chicken Salad, I was ready to expect the same-o-same.
And fortunately, I was wrong.
What stuck me about this salad is the fruit – strawberries and blueberries – mixed with chicken, lettuce, and sharp cheddar cheese. So it was sweet, with just a bit of creamy tartness, and lots of good lean protein.
The calorie count is also awesome – only 330 calories per salad – and that includes the raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
The only down side is the price. My salad was $6.79 and if you add on a couple of kids meals and drinks, you’ll be paying close $20.00 for a lunch out.
However, as we are on the road this summer, I’ll remember the Berry Almond Chicken Salad as a great option for healthy eating while traveling.
And because the kind people of Wendy’s want you to experience the Berry Almond Chicken Salad too – I’m giving away a $25 Wendy’s Gift Card.
